$SOL The crypto world really resembles life: when you're young, everyone thinks they can make a fortune, but the ones who fall the hardest are often those who believe they won't fall.
When I first entered the market, I had 3000u, filled with excitement, checking seven or eight candlestick charts daily, thinking I had grasped the market's rhythm.
Back then, my favorite saying was: "It will definitely go up tomorrow."
$ETH As a result, the market rose every day, while my account kept declining.
Until one day, an experienced trader woke me up with some harsh words.
It was the first time I heard someone calmly tell me: "You're not losing to the market, you're losing to your own fantasies."
In that moment, my heart was completely awakened.
That night, I sent a screenshot of my losses to the experienced trader, asking him: "How can I survive in this cursed place?"
He replied with just one sentence: "Want to turn things around? First, learn not to self-sabotage."
Since then, I started to calm down and observe the market, discovering a strange pattern:
When a strong coin falls for a week, I used to only feel fear; now I know that's an opportunity;
After two days of rising, I used to only feel excitement; now I know that's danger;
When some coins suddenly surge by 7%, I used to rush to sell; now I know the next day often provides one last chance to get on board.
Every time I stared at the screen until 3 AM, my hands shaking uncontrollably, I truly understood: the rhythm of the market is worth a lot.
The most extreme instance was when I bet on a coin that had been flat for three days; I stubbornly held on, thinking I could witness a miracle.
That day, the experienced trader messaged me: "What has been flat will change; the fantasies you believe in aren't worth much."
I didn't believe it, and on the fourth day, the coin crashed hard, waking me up completely.
At that moment, I realized: it wasn't the market that was stagnant, but my mindset that was constrained.
Since then, I have engraved these lessons into my bones: Is the volume matching the price?
Is the trend starting? Can yesterday's pit be filled today?
Where does the leading coin's correction end?
I've seen too many brothers who, despite not being foolish and working hard, keep hitting walls because they're on the wrong rhythm.
In fact, it's not that they can't do it; it's that no one has helped them see clearly those things they've "heard a hundred times but never truly understood."
